Funny facts about math .. "Why does the minute contain 60 seconds?"

avatar

- These are some fact about mathematics which my teacher told us in school and others i have read on the internet:

The ancient Babylonians were computed by repeating Rule 60, instead of the 10 now used, so we find that the minute contains 60 seconds, and the circle is 360 degrees.

Multiplying (111111111*111111111) equals 12345678987654321, Focus on the number again.

The number 2520 is the smallest number that can be divided into numbers 1 through 10 and the result is a number without Fractions.

There is 177147 how to tie a tie, according to mathematicians.

In 1900 it was possible to collect and write all mathematical knowledge in the world in about 80 books, but today this knowledge can fill more than one hundred thousand books.

I have always disliked using 10. 10 is not divisible by 3. Even dividing by 4 gives us 2.5 (decimal place answer). 12 is a much better number, it has factors 1,2, 3, 4, and 6. I can see similar logic to using 60 as well.
